The Work of the Hebrew Orphans' Home
(Continued, from page 17)
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Richmond, Petersburg,
Lynchburg, Roanoke, Raleigh, Golds
boro, Gaffney, Asheville. In many
cities the social workers, the presi
dents of Sisterhoods and Councils, the
representatives of the Orphans’ Home,
were interviewed. In each city all
relatives of the families were inter
viewed personally and detailed reports
on the cases presented to the Local
Board. In the large cities the agen
cies have given of their time and ser
vice and co-operated with us in a
splendid spirit.
One of the needs of our work out
side of Atlanta is an educational pro
gram. Mr. Wyle has made a begin
ning in this direction by interpreting
to each community our function and
the advantages of group planning,
through auxiliaries that he is estab
lishing.
In an article in the Child Welfare
Bulletin, the question “What Training
does Normal Family Life Give to
Children” is answered as follows:
“1. Training for adult life through
contact in small doses with
reality;
2. Training in gradually increas
ing social contacts—
3. Training in emotional adjust
ments through
(a) a feeling of belonging
(b) a feeling of backing
(c) a feeling of approbation
(d) a feeling of being very
much like every one else.”
These essentials to happy childhood
and constructive ultimate citizenship
are not being denied our children in
their present foster homes.
The help and interest of the mem
bers of the Indentures and Discharge
Committee is of real value. At all
times have they given constructive
suggestions and much thought to the
problems presented. Their live inter
est has been a source of inspiration
to the work and confidence to your
Social Worker that cannot help but
make for greater effectiveness. Mr.
Herbert J. Haas, our chairman, and
all the members of the Board, have
during the past year encouraged me
with their sincere faith in the work
and in our efforts to accomplish what
we felt was best for our children. Mr.
Joseph Loewus, chairman of the Local
Board, has also been most helpful in
this work.
And finally I wish to give credit to
that group of splendid women who
have filled their place so nobly in the
new scheme of things. Their readi
ness to accept suggestions, their wil
lingness to turn to us as a friend for
guidance when they are in doubt, and
their unselfish devotion to the re
sponsibility which they have assumed,
has made them in a very particular
sense, our co-workers. Of these Foster
Mothers it might be said:
“The only crown I ask, dear God, to
wear, is this—
That I may help a little child.
I do not ask that I should ever stand
Among the wise, the worthy, or the
great,
I only ask that softly hand in hand
A child and I may enter at the
gate.”
• Mrs. Wyle is President of the Atlanta
Section, Council of Jewish Workers, and
Social Service Director of the Hebrew
Orphans Home.

aristocratic villa, his white beard
swaying in the wind, listening with
a strange smile to the parading
Hakenkreutzlers shouting “Juden tot
—Juden tot” and returning to his
study to finish THE Viennese Novel.
Our poet—our poet—
When one spoke of Jewish figures
in contemporary world literature, the
names of Schnitzler and Wassermann
suggested themselves immediately. So
strong has Schnitzler’s influence been
on the older generation that we of
today accepted him readily, as a mat
ter of course. Yet his writings are
outdated, at least in this country.
Some of his dreams were played with
mediocre success a few years ago.
The modernist classify him as mark
ing the end of an epoch. In 1931 a
New York producer put on his Ana-
tol’s Affairs”, published 38 years ago,
but the Broadway audience, after two
or was it three? weeks found it “too
ancient and out of step”. His novel
“Casanova Homecoming” in its Amer
ican edition would have rotted in some
cellar if its publishers had not carried
their tight against Mr. Sumner’s
“Vice Squad” to a successful finish,
and aroused the curiosity of American
readers.
“Herr Schnitzler was stricken while
working on the last act of the play
“The Call of Life”, which he had set
himself to rewrite. Shortly before his
death he was considering a suggestion
of Joseph Schildkraut that he write
for the talking films”. Thus the
cables elaborated on Arthur Schnitz
ler’s death. It makes us suspect that
“The Call of Life” will soon make its
appearance and that Mr. Schildkraut
might produce a talking picture”
suggested by Arthur Schnitzler”.
Publicity machines do not respect death
and try to Squeeze out of the living
as well as the dead the last ounce—
of publicity. We are skeptical about
the chances of Schnitzler’s immortal
ity, even for the next twenty-five
years. He belonged to no organiza
tion or academy. He leaves no or
ganized boosters. His readers are not
of the fantastic type that will fight
for a Schnitzler monument. To Jews
he was the great man of letters recog
nized by the non-Jew and shedding
luster on his race—by reflection.
